Home Game 3

AHL Game: 86

Who: Hershey Bears

Where: Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza

When: 7:05 p.m. EST

Last Game: For WBS: In Charlotte, the Pens won 4-3. Tim Wallace scored two goals. For Hershey: Their home opener against Rochester saw the Bears lose by a score of 3-2. Brian Willsie had a goal and an assist.

Record: For WBS, 4-0-0-0 (8 pts., 1st place East Division)  – For HER, 2-1-0-1 (5 pts., 4th place East Division)

Last Meeting: Wilkes-Barre won in a shootout, 4-3. Andrew Hutchinson had a two point night. Kyle Greentree had a goal and an assist and was gunning with 8 shots.

Why you should care: In keeping with last time these teams met, the Calder Cup goes through Hershey again it seems. Hershey lost their last game to Rochester. “Losing streak” and “Hershey Bears” just don’t go together in the AHL language. The Pens are on a roll to start the season. Is Hershey the first roadblock?
